In response to my post above a friend of my wrote to me: “Soon you'll be spending more time there than the listening room :-)”. This is a very interesting concept and I would like to share my thoughts about it.

A listening room and a video room are different animals. I am not taking the requirement to equipment and setup but rather they deliver totally different experiences. The mechanisms of forming and delivering of metaphors from video rooms and audio rooms are very different and in a way they server different needs and different interests.  I do feel that listening room deliver stronger imagination injection in contrary to a video room that delivers stronger motor reaction. It is not that say that musical art is less capable then cinematographic art. Let face it in video room we do not deal with cinematographic art. For sure we can play in video room some great films and great performances but the greatness of those performances might be equally appreciated at 30” TV of at 130” screen with large sound.

I did find 2 DVD that in my mind give worthy experience of large video room. I do like the contribution to these video performances that fully setup video room gives. Still, I do recognize that the added values of the better image and larger sound sever in way self-gratifying purpose. It never happens with listening room. In the better listening room with better playback the better Sound elevates awareness of performance. In video room the better sound/video do extend the responsiveness to the event but to a much lesser degree.
